i brewed yesterday. rehydrated my 34/70 yeast at 55 degrees. no fermation 24 hours later. thinking about open it up and changing the lid on the fermator. will wait till tommorrow until i do that. it is a helles. beginning gravity 1.050. pitched yeast at 60 degrees.

i found the problem it was the lid. big huge yeast cake on top. almost 3inches thick.. I got a new fermator and the lid sucked the hole for the air lock had a foam piece and the lid didnt fit right. it looks good..

HI can you guys help me? I have a brewhouse prairie wheat kit and used a wyeast 3638 I brewed it 6days ago and its not been doing much at all. It has blobs on the bottom and never did ferment s/g started At 1.050 its now at 1.030 should i add some dry yeast or just leave it?

I wouldn't be just worried yet. The white stuff on the bottom is yeast that is growing. It could be still fermenting, albeit slowly.

Did you make a successful yeast starter for the liquid yeast you pitched in?
